  • Number of Servings: 15
Ingredients
¼ Cup Dried Onion Flakes 4 Tbsp. Chili Powder 1Tbsp. Salt4 tsp. Corn Starch 3 tsp. Cumin Powder 3 tsp. Dried Minced Garlic 3 tsp. Onion Powder 2 tsp. Hot Pepper Flakes* 2 tsp. Beef Bullion Powder 1 ½ tsp. Oregano
Directions
Combine all the ingredients and store in an air-tight container. When you make tacos, brown the ground beef in a skillet and sprinkle the taco seasoning on the browned meat according to your own taste. Add a few tablespoons of water, and let simmer for a few minutes.
When you're using for Mexican dishes, use about 1 tablespoon or so per 1 pound ground beef, or chicken or beans. More if you like the extra flavor.

*Note: I only add 1 tsp Hot Pepper Flakes. That’s enough for me.

    Please fix your recipe, ingredient measures are goofy. You must have copied from word processing? - 10/27/10

    I'm so excited to try this, but what does the A w/the ^ mean in the ingredients? - 10/17/09

    This recipe is a really good start. After trying it once I did add a lot more pepper flakes and some extra chili powder to heat it up a little. After the additions, I actually got a few compliments (they like the extra heat.) - 5/27/09

    This was great! I used it in shredded chicken, probably would have been better to use chicked boulion instead of beef but it still was great and smells absolutely wonderful! - 5/5/09
